Hi @Puneet4418 

You can make use of Get Catalog Variables action to get the value of user email variable. Post that, make use of Lookup Record action on sys_user table with the user email ID that you got in the first step to get the user manager sys_id. You can then make use of Ask for Approval action and map the manager data pill as an Approver.

Refer below screenshots -
